A Nice Surprise

I opened the door this morning to put a package out for carrier pickup and was quite surprised to see a box from Interweave Press waiting for me. I don't have any projects scheduled for publication this month, but the shape of the package clearly indicated that there was a magazine or book inside.

Well, it turns out my gryphon pendant and bone and snake toggle clasp made it into BEADS2009! I had submitted beads for this issue but never heard back from the editors, so I assumed that none of the pieces made it. They are in the "World Beat" section. What a nice way to start the day. Thanks to everyone at Beadwork!

About Me

I am an intellectual property lawyer by training and have a background in English Renaissance literature. I love science fiction. I primarily watch Sesame Street these days and find myself humming "Pop Goes the Weasel" at odd moments (guess why). I can happily eat ice cream in the middle of winter when the wind chill is 20 below 0. I have been making beads and designing jewelry since 2007.
